You had a valid point and calling out the omission was justified. Plus, it helps keep us honest.

We truly appreciate the feedback and are open to constructive criticism.

You guys are amazing and all-in-all your articles are very interesting. It was GREAT that eBay Motors gave him some help—those parts are sure more expensive now. I’m sorry if I was a bit ‘rough’ in my comments, I hadn’t had my coffee yet! Keep up the good work!

peace&love,

Thanks for the feedback.

A link to the story behind the theft and recovery is here:

I’ll update the story with more background info since it is a missing element.

That’s the only reason I read the article, how disappointing!

The most interesting thing is the neglected story of HOW he found and recovered the car 42 years later. Most likely the majority of your readers have *NOT* seen the news articles, and so your reference to them isn’t that useful. It would be better to include a link to one of them, or at least include a synopsis of the story! Thank you.
